University of Toronto - Department of Medical Imaging

The Department of Medical Imaging, University of Toronto, is the oldest academic imaging department in Canada and one of the oldest in North America, appointing the first Chair of Radiology in 1919, less than 25 years after the discovery of the X-ray. Since then the Department has grown to become an early adopter of every new technological breakthrough occurring in this young and vital specialty. Today the Department boasts over 200 faculty members, 60 residents and 90 fellows. It is invested in eight clinical divisions and affiliated with 17 hospital sites across Toronto. Within the faculty, there are more than 70 associate and full professors and over 20 basic or clinician scientists. Making sure all runs smoothly day-to-day are seven administrative staff, without whom the Department would grind to a halt.
